Great Product packaging, printed image manual plus manual on install disk. Comes with some great apps! Only thing is the apps have been updated but there is no update link so I advise you go to website and download latest update version of Samsung Magician
Pros: worth the money!, excellent apps
Cons: none!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Installed the 850 EVO as an upgrade in my 2011 iMac and the performance increase was spectacular! Feels like a new machine. Very fast loading and app startup. Great value for the money.

Replaced a dying WD Velociraptor 10000 RPM Drive and the difference is amazing! Used to take 3-4 minutes to boot, now about a minute. Everything seems faster.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

New Drive Choice

This was a great choice for a boot drive instead of mechanical. Its fast, quiet and does what I want a drive to do. I use the mechanical for storage. Great job Samsung.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fast but unreliable

I have had this drive for almost one year. Since day one this drive has been a little "flakey", occasionally not starting up. My laptop would give an error saying no boot device present. (No hard drive found!) Power cycling would bring it back.
Now these start up failures are becoming more frequent and have probably reached the 50/50 point, and trending towards total failure.
I am going to RMA it before it fails to start up at all.
Sorry to say I will not ever really trust the replacement as I really do not use my laptop that often and I doubt even one terabyte of data has actually been transferred on and off this drive.
I do not recommend buying these drives or any in the EVO series as they all probably suffer the same reliability issue.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
